Mouser Now Shipping the New u-blox XPLR-IOT-1 Explorer Kit for IoT Applications
May 29, 2024 – Mouser Electronics, Inc., the authorized global distributor with the newest electronic components and industrial automation products, is now stocking the XPLR-IOT-1 Explorer kit from u-blox. The XPLR-IOT-1 provides a complete platform for developing proof-of-concept IoT applications for sensor networks, environmental control, medical devices, smart appliances, lighting applications and more.
The u-blox XPLR-IOT-1, available from Mouser, includes everything needed for an out-of-the-box experience, including an embedded SIM with u-blox MQTT Anywhere and MQTT Now trial accounts to enable connection to the Thingstream IoT service delivery platform. With only a few initial manual steps, the kit can publish data to the cloud and demonstrate a complete end-to-end solution. The XPLR-IOT-1 features a dual-core Arm® Cortex®-M33 application microcontroller with up to 128/64 MHz clock frequency, 512 + 64 kB RAM plus 1024 + 256 kB flash, with support for Wi-Fi®, Bluetooth®, and LTE-M/NB-IoT cellular communication for cellular networks in many countries across the globe. A dedicated low-power GNSS receiver provides accurate positioning data, while alternatively, the user can leverage the available nano SIM slot to connect with a network operator of choice.
The XPLR-IOT-1 kit uses the MQTT-SN protocol for power and data-efficient communication to the Thingstream platform, or if Wi-Fi is preferred, the built-in Wi-Fi module and the u-blox MQTT Now service offer an alternate route to the cloud. The XPLR-IOT-1 kit comes with pre-flashed application software, available as source code, that collects sensor and positioning data for the Thingstream platform, where the data flow manager receives and processes the data. The available Node-RED programming example shows a quick and easy dashboard visualization of the data. The device is controlled by the Nordic Semiconductor nRF5340 wireless system-on-chip (SoC) in the NORA-B1 wireless MCU module, which can host custom applications developed with the Nordic nRF Connect SDK or the Zephyr development environment. This device offers integrated sensors for temperature, humidity, pressure, ambient light, magnetometer, gyroscope, accelerometer, and battery gauge.
